Some parameters are only available in Advanced mode.

Mode – Specifies one of the following methods for adjusting textures.

Multiply – Multipliers can be specified to adjust colors and textures.
Blend Amount – Blend amounts can be specified to adjust colors and textures.

Overall Color – Controls the intensity of the Overall Color, which acts as a color multiplier for all color components in the material.

Transparency – Controls the intensity of the Transparency.

Diffuse Color – Controls the intensity of the diffuse component color of the shader.

Primary Spec. Color – Controls the intensity of the Primary Specular color component, which corresponds to the light reflected off the outer surface of the hair strands.

Secondary Spec. Color  – Controls the intensity of the Secondary Specular color component, which corresponds to the light reflected off the back surface of the hair strands.

Transmission Color – Controls the intensity of the Transmission color component, which corresponds to the light that passes through the hair strands.

Binding

Binding – Enables connection/binding between V-Ray and the corresponding base application material.

Color Color – Enables color binding. Changing the V-Ray material color changes the corresponding base application material color and vise vice versa.

Opacity Opacity – Enables refraction/opacity / transparency binding. Changing the SketchUp material transparencyopacity, however, does not change the V-Ray material. Instead, it disables the Opacity binding.

Texture Mode Texture Mode – Enables texture binding. Changing the V-Ray material texture changes the corresponding base application material texture and vise vice versa. 

Auto – By default binds the Diffuse texture to the base app material. Clicking on the "eye" icon for a texture used in the shader hierarchy, changes the binded map to the newly selected one. 
Texture Helper – Allows the use of a helper texture as a base application material map. The same helper is used if the binded texture is a procedural map. This is useful if every time you have to set texture placement for a map that can't be displayed accurately in the base app. 
Custom – Allows for the use of a custom texture as base application map. The selected texture is material map. Disabling this parameter allows changing the base app material texture without affecting the V-Ray material. 
Bake – In this mode complex texture networks are baked to a single image used as a viewport preview. Differences between the rendered result and the viewport preview may occur due to the fact that only the texture confined within the 0 to 1 UV square is baked. This affects most procedural patterns and textures with custom UV placement configuration. Raytraced and Tri-planar textures are not supported.

Texture – Selected textures are displayed in the viewport. Keep in mind that procedural textures are not displayed.

Disabling this parameter allows changing the base app material texture without affecting the V-Ray material. Note that the viewport texture will not affect the way the material is rendered in V-Ray. It is mainly used for preview purposes.
